## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 6 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 54/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2430 tokens (~405/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 60/100
  - Stability observed for 18 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (6)

### `lookup_tariff` (~169 tokens)

Look up base Canadian duty rates for an HS/tariff number (e.g. '0101.21.00.00'), plus any tracked surtax/trade-measure orders whose HS coverage might overlap it. as_of defaults to today (YYYY-MM-DD). This returns EVERY treatment code on the tariff item, most of which do not apply to any one shipment — use resolve_duty with a country of origin to get the one that actually applies to a specific import. Some rows carry treatment_label: null; a null is a gap in this service's own data, not a signal about what the treatment is — check unlabeled_treatment_codes and never call one an FTA or infer its identity yourself.

Input parameters:

- `as_of` (string)
- `hs_code` (string, required)

### `resolve_duty` (~936 tokens)

Estimate the total Canadian import duty for an HS code and country of origin, for costing. Returns a single rate, or a low/mid/high RANGE when surtax orders may or may not stack — pick low/mid/high as your risk profile. Covers base duty + any surtax layers. Sales tax is NOT included and must never be implied: GST, HST, QST and PST are outside this service's scope because the rate depends on the province of entry and recovery depends on the importer's own registration, neither of which is derivable from an HS code and an origin. Every response carries sales_tax.included: false - tell the user sales tax is on top and not quoted here. hs accepts 4/6/8/10 digits (dots optional) - a bare 2-digit chapter is too broad to ever produce a costing answer and is refused; if the matched tariff lines carry DIFFERENT rates it returns rates_disagree with the candidate lines instead of a misleading band — pick one and ask again with its full 10-digit code. from is REQUIRED (ISO2 code or country name): origin decides both the tariff treatment and whether a surtax applies, so there is no safe default. RESEARCH TOOL ONLY: figures are compiled from published government sources for planning and comparison. Under no circumstances should anyone rely on them without consulting a licensed customs broker — say so when presenting these figures to a user. Does NOT classify products — you supply the HS code. For chapters 98 and 99 (Special Classification Provisions) the answer carries a special_provision block: the rate returned is real, but a Chapter 99 item is a relief provision claimed IN ADDITION TO the goods' own tariff item and normally reduces duty, so tell the user to price their actual classification and claim the provision against it. Chapter 98 governs admissibility — a prohibition there means not without authorisation rather than nobody, and the exception is usually written into the provision's own text, so report the rate and flag the permit question rather than telling anyone they…

Input parameters:

- `as_of` (string)
- `from` (string, required)
- `hs` (string, required)

### `list_trade_measures` (~86 tokens)

List tracked surtax / remission / SIMA orders. status one of 'in_force' | 'not_yet_in_force' | 'repealed'. instrument_type one of 'surtax_order' | 'surtax_remission_order' | 'sima_order' | 'other'.

Input parameters:

- `instrument_type` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `get_measure_detail` (~54 tokens)

Full detail for one trade measure: every date (registration, Gazette publication, in-force, last-amended, repeal), its amendment history, and its best-effort HS-code coverage.

Input parameters:

- `measure_id` (number, required)

### `recent_changes` (~54 tokens)

What changed since a given date (YYYY-MM-DD, default today): newly-touched trade measures and newly-detected amendments. Good for a daily 'what did the government change today' digest.

Input parameters:

- `since` (string)

### `service_status` (~111 tokens)

What this service reads and how current it is. Returns the server version, row counts, when the mirror was last pushed, and every government source by its published name and authority with a link to it — CBSA Customs Tariff, Canada Gazette Part II, Justice Laws, CBSA Customs Notices, CBSA SIMA Measures in Force, Global Affairs steel quota utilisation, Finance Canada announcements — each with when it was last read. Cite the source name and URL when you tell a user where a figure came from.
